It's time to start brushing up on your lyrical descriptions of the British countryside and pondering new hound metaphors because

sutcliff_swap will be running again this year! Signups open on February 29th. For the full schedule, see
this post.
I'm very excited to be modding the exchange again with

isis . If you are new to the swap or need a refresher on the rules and FAQs, you can view them on AO3
here. The basics are that fic needs to be at least 1,000 words, art needs to be a finished piece, and that works must be set in canon or canon-AU only. No modern AUs, space-age AUs, etc. Also note that the 2011 movie Eagle of the Ninth is
not eligible, although the book definitely is.
This year, we're going to be doing signups through AO3 and are creating a tagset for the various canons. We will only be pre-seeding tags for the canons, not characters, as there are too many to make that feasible, particularly as minor characters often get requested. We'll still be hand-matching as well. We've already put in many of the canons that usually get requested for the Swap. But to ensure that we capture all the canons that people think they might like to request, please go take a look at the current tagset
here. If there is a work missing that you would like added, let us know in a comment to this post. Note that we are not trying to make it a comprehensive list of
every Sutcliff work, but rather a list of the works that people want to request for the exchange.
We'll do a pimping post with banners soon, but don't hesitate to publicize the exchange. We'd love to attract as many people as possible!
Ask any questions in comments to this post, and again, take a look at the tags.
